IMPROVEMENT IN FLY-TRAPS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 145,791, dated December23, 1873; application led August 4, 1873.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE W. ErcnnoLTz, ofNew Berlin, in the county of San gamon and State of Illinois, haveinvented a new and Improved Fly-Trap, of which the following is aspecification:

In the accompanying drawing7 Figure l represents a vertical centralsection of my improved y-trap, and Eig. 2 a top view of the same withcovers detached and parts cut away.

My invention consists in a cert-ain construction and mode of connect-ionof a base-plate, sheet-metal cylinder, and inner and outer wiregauzecones, as hereinafter described.

In the drawing, A represents the bottom or base plate, made of tin orother sheet metal, to which is attached the cylindrical body B, of likematerial. Within the latter .awirega-uze cone, C, is arranged atsuitable height above plate A. A Hooks a, which are applied by staples bto part B, lock intoshort radial slots a of plate A, forming thereby avery simple and reliable connection of these parts, and allowing theeasy and convenient cleaning of plate and cone, and the ready insertionof the bait. At the lower edge of bodyrlB, below main cone C,

are arranged small wire-gauze cones D, through which the flies enter, insearch ot the bait. The main cone C is truncated, and provided with asmall inverted cone, E, forming circular slots f with it, through whichthe ilies pass up into the upper part of the trap above cone C. Thisupper chamber consists merely of a GEORGE W. EICITIHOLTZ.
